Topic: " failed to setup X " when md is moved to a tv with s-video connection (Read 1980 times)

I had succesfully installed a pxe booting MD on a pc connected to a pc monitor via vga.When I connected it to a tv by a s-video cable it did hang up during the boot. So I deleted the MD on my hybrid rebooted and tried to reinstall this pxe booting mde (still connected by s-video to the tv). Unfortunately it now stops sayig " failed to setup X ". I am not 100% sure but I think the patch cable should be 100 MB/s in speed (but if it was 10MB/s, would it be the problem?)

Any ideas or pointer for meI would really apreciateThanks and cheersRoberto

"the page is very long, what do I have to search for exactly?" if you mean the var/log/Xorg.0 file you'll be looking for "Mode Validation" i.e. which mode is valid and which is rejected. After the ModePool section ends the assigned Display Device will tell you screen resolution.
